1⅓cupflour
½cupsemisweet chocolate chips,melted
½cupbutter

Preparation
Line the baking sheet with parchment paper, or a silicone mat and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Beat together the butter and sugar in a stand mixer until light. Be sure to scrape the sides down frequently.
Mix in the egg and vanilla. Once incorporated add the baking powder and salt.
Slowly mix in the flour on low speed. The dough will be thick.
Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave. Heat for 30 second increments, stirring in between, until melted. Add the melted chocolate into the cookie dough and mix.
Use a cookie scoop to drop the dough onto the baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 9 minutes for smaller cookies and 9 to 11 minutes for larger cookies. The top should be dry to the touch, but soft and moist in the middle.
Using a medium saucepan stir together the butter, cocoa powder, and milk over medium heat. Whisk until the butter is melted and ingredients are combined. Remove from the heat and stir in the powdered sugar.
Once the cookies have been baked DO NOT remove them from the pan.
Use a spoon to cover each hot cookie with the icing. The cookies will get good and chocolatey! Allow the icing to set.
Once set and the cookies have cooled, carefully remove the cookies from the pan.
